2018 Chateau d'Issan Margaux

96 Point 3rd Classified Growth Bordeaux "Such Balance and Harmony" ~James Suckling 98 Point Vintage, Wine Enthusiast Outstanding Aging Potential  Free Shipping on 6 or More Bottles About the Wine "The best reds are dense and tannic, with slightly higher alcohol and lower acidity, but terrific drive and definition," said Wine Spectator of the 2018 Bordeaux Vintage, scoring the vintage an impressive 96 points. The 2018 Château d'Issan Margaux has all the markers of “one of the best reds” of the vintage that Wine Spectator spoke of. It’s dense—showing off real depth in its blue/purplish fruit—according to Vinous. It’s tannic—with tannins gently layering but adding up to quite the wall at this stage, suggesting a long life ahead—according to Decanter. It has drive and definition—with a great core of muscular fruit—according to Wine Advocate.  This praise is no surprise. Chateau d’Issan is a classified growth, after all.
